Cheers for the replies fellas.Strange how the previous 4 I bought fitted smoothly onto their new shafts.

'96 300 TDI 130 Tipper Just checking to see if anyone has had any issues with the above.One terrafirma HD flange on my rear salisbury axle chewed its half shaft so I bought a pair along with new shafts.Thing is the new flanges wont fit the shafts.The new half shafts are exactly the same as the previous shafts ( FTC1724 & FTC 1725 ). The old ( still intact ) flange fits the new shafts smoothly only for a small bit of movement from wear.The new flanges ( TF859) however have a slightly different spline profile where they haven't a pointed V shaped spline but a \_/ shaped spline if that makes sense ? .Anyone else ever experience this ?

Thank you gentlemen !

So with a rear prop removed it will only have x 2 front wheel drive only if the diff is locked , correct ?

True Ralph, but why no drive on front axle ?

I mean , goosed something , sorry

Thanks fellas.I've a Salisbury on the rear fitted with HD drive flanges. I had a few mins whilst stopped this eve and took off the rear flanges.The rear OS flange and shaft are worn badly and can rotate them on each other with hardly any resistance. So I left them out.Diff lock not engaged in either hi or lo, still no drive , diff lock engaged have drive in hi and lo.Have I hooded something in the transfer box ?

Defender 300 tdi 130 tipper Driving with a full load of woodchip last night , coming round a roundabout , felt and heard a bang resulting in loss of drive.No drive in high or low but drive possible with diff lock engaged. Had a look under today.In gear , the rear prop moves freely by hand but front engages. When I get some time I'll have a look at the transfer box inspection plate.Any ideas otherwise ?

You're a gent Ralph , thanks for that

Hi folks , anyone have the GKN part numbers for front & rear shaft of a '96 300 TDI 130 with a rear salisbury axle ? cheers , D

You're a gent Ralph , thanks

My copy of microcat is acting up , can anyone tell me part numbers for rear axle salisbury halfshafts. 1996 Defender 130 chassis cab Muchos gracias !

In case anyone wants to know what to look for.

Spot on Mr Wabbit It was a couple of threads loose . I'm guessing that the shunt was enough to knock the yoke forward completely.I've cleaned both and threadlocked it in this time.Thanks for your help bud , much appreciated I had visions of having to fork out for a change of gearbox. Indeed thanks to all who helped , Frax etc

Ok I get ye , I'll give it a blast tomorrow eve.I'd try it now but the shed is a kilometre walk up the lane .I'll post back , thanks for the suggestions fellas !
